I got my Garmin and
love it! My training program started on the 13th so I went on a very expensive running gear splurge. Trail shoes, electrolyte powder, sport wash (because tide just wasn't helping the technical fabric smell) and new running TIGHTS!!! like fancy ones that support my knees

It was way too much money but I decided to treat myself for making such a huge life changing decision. Still no job so it was really stupid to spend so much on running but... My registration for the Napa Marathon is complete and non-refundable
